Currently, India is under a 21-Day Lockdown to curb the widespread COVID-19.
All Bbusinesses, commercial establishments and institutions except those providing essential goods and services are strictly shut during this time. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly resulted in reduced economic activity, layoffs and salary cuts not only in India but also across the globe. In less than 36 hours of starting the nationwide lockdown, Nirmala Sitharaman announced the Rs. 1.7 lakh crore(Rs. 1.7 trillion) fiscal package to help the poor tackle this financial crunch which rose from the COVID-19 outbreak and the 21-Day nationwide lockdown.
